HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
Saturday, July 3, 2010
Hello all and Happy 4th of July! As you celebrate your Independence day with your families with BBQ's, fireworks, block parties or perhaps just a simple and quiet day off please take time to quietly reflect and remember the men and women who have dedicated their lives to serve our country and given us this freedom.
Today I have listed a few simple ways that we can help out the men and women of our armed forces. The video above is about a program started by two young kids called "Cell phones for soldiers". You can click on this link and learn more about it HERE. More or less donating your old cell phone will provide soldiers with free calling card minutes to call home and to speak to their friends and families. What a simple and kind thing to do. I know most of us have old cell phones lying around. :0)
Another kind and easy thing to do today is to go and vist the USO support site and leave a message to our soldiers to wish them a Happy 4th and to thank them for their continued service and dedication. GO HERE :0)
Now of course this post would not be complete without a prize being involved right?... so...leave me a post with a link to your blogs and/or facebook pages with the links to cell phones for soldiers and the USO 4th of July message board/wall that I gave you today and you will be entered in a random drawing for this prize sponsred by: The Robin's Nest and Tammy I. This will challenge will run from today unitl Sunday, July 11th. A winner will be announced on Monday July 12th.
Good luck and remember to keep on

Dear Ol' Dad Challenge
Monday, June 7, 2010
So the time is near to recognize our fathers, or our children’s father’s. Or as I like to call them, “our dear old dads”. They are good at fixing things and carrying heavy stuff, and yet, so much more. So this month we will recognize them …as we should!
Whether it is your own dad or the one who does such a good job with the kidlings, let’s let them know how much they are appreciated. This month our challenge is to make a layout, a card or even a gift showing the men or the daddies in our lives that they certainly are appreciated. Yes it is that simple. And the funny thing is..for doing so..one of you will still wind up getting a prize for doing so… now that ain’t half bad ;0) !
Here is what our Design team came up with this time around:
Illyse's Layout
Vicki's Layout
Julie's Layout
Christine's Card
And here is the fun prize just for you :0) some great chip board given to us from Cherry Arte and manly rub-ons from The Robin’s Nest !
This challenge will run from today, Monday, June 7 through Sunday , June 20th. A winner will be announced on Monday, June 21st. You’ve got just about 2 weeks to participate on this one, so get those projects, cards, gifts or layouts done and linked back to us. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
